Case description

On 13 March 2014 at about 22:15, a witness closing his shutters in Saint-Égrève saw a fairly luminous green oval object cross a clear sky very rapidly. He described the green as leek-like, with a red circle all around it. No sound was heard during the very brief sighting. That evening, many people in France and Switzerland saw a fast, colored luminous phenomenon. A fireball was reported across a large part of southeastern France and recorded at 21:59:47, earlier than the witness's approximate 22:15 time. The source refers to a fireball definition and Webastro. GEIPAN classifies the case as A while describing it as a very probable fireball sighting.
